Wow! A really super track. I absolutely loved it!

A very moody piece of dark indie indeed, listened a few times it’s a grower 👍

LES PASSANTS DE LA PLUIE 

Tu rentres à l'aube ébouriffé comme un soleil 
A la lune, ta plume saigne de tout ses maux 
Tu rases les ruelles, les murs et les poubelles 
Découpent ta vie en lambeaux 

Trop vrai pour porter un costard dans leur parade 
Epingler un sourire au col de leur boutade 
Et dans les "places to be" jouer à qui ment le mieux 
Trop intact pour être comme eux 

Il faudrait faire semblant, jouer à être vivant 
Continuer d'être morne jusqu'à la fin des temps 
Mais mieux vaut être libre et se sentir en vie 
Que marcher dans le gris des passants de la pluie 

Dedans c'est le foutoir d' une chambre insalubre 
Alors tu prends ton paredessus usé de solitude 
Dehors le froid du nord mord déjà les passants 
Mais toi, ta liberté n'a pas de prise au vent 


Il faudrait faire semblant, jouer à être vivant 
Continuer d'être norme jusqu'à la fin des temps 
Mais mieux vaut être libre et se sentir en vie 
Que marcher dans les pas des passants de la pluie 

Si pour être soi-même il fallait renoncer 
Au confort, aux écrans, à la facilité 
Mieux vaut être Poète à poil devant la vie 
Qu' être clown à la fête des passants de la pluie
                                                             dlb2025

LES PASSANTS DE LA PLUIE

Way out west, where the dirt turns to ice, there's nothing out here, and it's no surprise.

Way Out West

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

The Trump Files

About far right leaning media and publishing moguls and their empires pushing populist versions of right and wrong and the truth.

Where the pages turn, and forced upon
Sacred speech and lessons burn.
Ink on our hands, dust in the air,
Organise and help it burn

But here comes the man with reach and wealth
Buying up voices, undoing the truth
He thinks we’re paper, easy to fold,
But words are fire, printed and free

We are not for sale, we are not for silence,
Defenders of freedom defenders of rights
Print your lies, but we’ll write them 
Fortress in souls, stand up tall 

Stray from the truth, make us believe
Promising futures, stripping our rights.
Pages should turn, wild and free,
No master, no master, viva democracy

But here comes the man with the reach and wealth
Buying up voices, undoing the truth
He thinks we’ret paper, easy to fold,
But words are fire, printed and free

We are not for sale, we are not for silence,
Defenders of freedom defenders of rights
Print your lies, but we’ll write them wrong,
Fortress in souls, stand up tall and strong

From Voltaire’s ink to the fires of war,
We know what they’re coming for.
But a book once read is a mind set free,
And no tyrant wins against memory.

But here comes the man with the reach and wealth
Buying up voices, undoing the truth
He thinks we’re paper, easy to fold,
But words are fire, printed and free

We are not for sale, we are not for silence,
Defenders of freedom defenders of rights
Print your lies, but we’ll write them wrong,
Fortress in souls, stand up tall

Viva Democracy    -     The New Vigos

This tune started with the random, goofy title. I came up with the basic music and melody, then left it for a while because it didn't turn out well. I gave it another try, and this is the finished song. It's definitely a potluck one, filled with lyrics that are more about cadence than making sense. I hope you enjoy!

A Long Way From Home (from CWSM)

This one's pretty typical of how I tend to compose music - I often create a drum beat I like, then add a bass and build around that. The main inspiration for this ditty was basically to play to a less common time signature, in this case a 7/8 rhythm. That reminded me of the funny 'yes, but yellow' meme circulating out there on the internet, so I whipped up this quick image in Photoshop to go with it (note the yellow slice is 1 eighth of the pie).  😊

I'm playing all instruments here on keyboard, except the slide guitar (dobro?), which is made up of several short loops in Garageband, sliced up to fit the 7/8 pattern I wanted)

Thanks for listening; hope to ketchup with your stuff soon!  


INSTRUMENTS:
-bass
-drums
-percussion
-Wurlitzer electric piano
-slide guitar (loop)
-tenor sax
-trumpet
-clavinet
-B3 organ

Most of the Time (Funk in 7/8)

A song from my EP SUPERNOVA. I wrote this song to make people happy when they listen to this. 129 BPM. 2m43s. The main genre is Alternative rock. This is a fun song. This song is influenced by Britpop, too. I'd say this is more influenced by Blur. And this is also influenced by Interpol. I personally think this is an interesting song.

Baby, sorry

Her white room is fadin', too
You could stole me
But fear is a psychedelic truth

She is lovely
Her sister is planning cruel
'Cause I know it
'Cause I know he has what to do
Take it easy
Evil can't beat the good
Please tell me
Why I'm your No. 2

She wants to sing
He wants to sing
Let's sing along

TAKE OFF YOUR MASK

     Howdy everyone and I hope everyone had a great Labor Day, without laboring of course!😂 This is another of my instrumentals, which actually had lyrics but the vocals were not recorded too well so I made it into an instrumental. It's about having that Las Vegas experience which I'm sure nobody can afford anymore with this economy unless you're a billionaire! I've been to Vegas many times and most times I've lost, hence the title "Lost Wages"! I'm not a gambler, so when I lose a couple of hundred dollars I start sweating profusely!!😂 It's a fast paced song and I played like a boogie-woogie synthesizer on it and a rock guitar. Charlie played a groovy harmonica on it too! I've decided to drop an instrumental and a cover song every month from now on besides my normal songs and videos. The video is the high-light so please check it out on YouTube.

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/DwZ-ISbz2g0

     The video was a lot of fun to put together and it's all about Las Vegas, the gambling, the show girls, the drinking, the excesses, pretty decadent stuff! There's is a lot of eye-candy here for the grown-ups to enjoy! It drops tomorrow on YouTube! The original song with lyrics was called "My Neck Of The Woods" so if Charlie and I rerecord the vocals, I'll make a video of it as well. I hope everyone enjoys this song and video and remember, don't gamble unless you can afford to lose a ton of money and are rich because it is an addiction! Last time we went to Las Vegas, back before the pandemic, it was for about a week and all we saw were the shows and never gambled, that was my favorite trip because I didn't lose a dime! But guess what? We're going back to Las Vegas in December 2025 to watch the new "Wizard Of Oz" spectacular in The Sphere! Check out the clips on YouTube, it's really mind-blowing! No gambling!! Take care and good luck! 😎✌🏼

"LOST WAGES" (Inst) [Video - https://youtu.be/DwZ-ISbz2g0]

Ton regard perdu me fais fondre 
Tu es la reine de mon monde

Sublime geisha, tu m’ensorcelles
Dans tes yeux, les promesses du ciel…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes 
Dans les rues, fière tu m’échappes 
Sensation si je t’attrape…

Ton regard triste me retourne
C’est perdu, la roue tourne…

Ton regard perdu me fais fondre 
Tu es la reine de mon monde

Sublime geisha, tu m’ensorcelles
Dans tes yeux, les promesses du ciel…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes 

Dans les rues fière, tu m’échappes
Sensation si je t’attrape…

Ton regard triste me retourne
C’est perdu, la roue tourne…

Tokyo girl, tu m’envoutes for ever
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes

Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes
Kiss the sky, heaven in your eyes…
